I seem to remember reading that Hushpower changed their guidance to suggest that you could safely use plastic wads, but you should check the barell is clear after each shot - at least in .410 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never had a problem with my Baikal / Hushpower single shot either - but likewise, my experiance isnt advice. 3 hours ago, mellors said: There you go.
